Well, I got totally lost on the first run, forgot to take a hard right towards the next set of cones, so I just headed for the exit to stop the timer.
Next run I had my friend riding with me video taping and went around a sweeper way too hot and couldn't countersteer or throttle the slide, so I 2 footed it and just turned around to finish the run.
3rd run was very good, 55.4 seconds, faster than the 2 C6 Z06's and 1 second slower than the 2000 FRC Vette with 315 R tires on all 4 corners, but since I had a passenger, the run counted as a Fun Run.
4th run felt really really good, but somehow I only managed a 61.xx pass. I'll check the posted results to verify the 4th run since I thought they said 51.xx, which would've been very cool.
I should get the vids and pics of me running uploaded sometime this week.

I am running Nitto 555RII on all 4 corners, 275/40/17. These are the grippiest tires I have ever ran, awesome on the street and great on the auto-x.

I ran with the tops on at an event at VMP last year since it looked like it was going to rain, and it did.
